The otters were very cute and very appealing, and very destructive to their habitat. The kookabura sat in its gum and I never heard it laugh at all, miserable thing haha.
I loved the Echidna, a bit like our hedgehog, but boy can it run !!! I can honestly say it was well worth the drive from Vals to the zoo, even if on the roads you take your life in your hands :)
One hint for going to Brisbane is to double the heat that Melbourne has and take lighter clothes, it was sweltering, when I arrived back in Melbourne the temperature was definately much lower Saw the most amazing wooden model of a kangaroo in the zoo shop and could't justify buying it, my regret now is that I didn't :(
Seemed really weird seeing tigers and elephants in the "Australia" zoo, but like Val said I guess thats the Asian part of it. But I had expected insects like the spiders etc. I had a biggish spider in my bedroom and called for Val to get it, but apparently it was harmless....phew !! Just a few of the pictures from the zoo, too many to post them all.
